NATO Chief: Recent Russian Strikes ‘Do Not Signal Seriousness About Peace’
According to Mark Rutte, European members of NATO may provide security guarantees if a ceasefire is reached.

According to Mark Rutte, European members of NATO may provide security guarantees if a ceasefire is reached.

Volodymyr Zelensky says a U.S. document on future security arrangements is “100% ready”—with Kyiv now waiting for the formal signing process.

Kyiv coordinated with European allies before sending its reply, even as Russia launched record drone strikes that disrupted Moscow airports and Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

Organized in high secrecy by France and the United Kingdom, the meeting seeks to coordinate financial aid and prepare a common security framework for Kyiv.

The doubtful Ukrainian president also welcomed Trump’s abrupt change of direction, full of optimistic rhetoric in support of Kyiv’s war effort.

The Kremlin dismissed Western plans for a “reassurance” force, arguing it would only escalate tensions and block prospects for lasting peace.

The talks will focus on security guarantees for Ukraine, an unnamed source told AFP.

It is questionable whether Europe’s depleted militaries can credibly deliver, given years of underinvestment.

Apart from France and the UK, however, no major European country is keen on putting boots on the ground, as the U.S. requested.

Russia has made it clear it will not accept NATO soldiers stationed in Ukraine.
